How will it be enforced? You build a house and have a gas cooker
installed. You don't install a boiler. When the planners etc have all
****ed off you install a gas boiler.

What will the approved alternatives be? Surely not oil! Electric will
be far too expensive.

Basically the greenies are trying to take us back to the stone age.


That does rather depend on what level insulation is required by the
Future Homes Standard (and whether British housebuilders then actually
deliver it).Â* I'd be happy to live without gas in something that meets
eg Passivhaus standards.

Then you would suffocate and have massive condensation instead

The ventlation requirements already drive a coach and horses through
modern insulation standards


Please explain. The few houses /built/ to such standards I have visited
were built without thermal bridging (so did not suffer condensation) and
with thermal recovery ventilation.

NB this is not about retrofits where cowboys may slap insulation on the
flat bits and forget about the rest.
